We are back in Chiang Mai. This lovely fruit shop was on a “corner.” We got dragon fruit from there that was super delicious to have with our breakfasts at the hotel cafe – a lovely open air spot with ceiling fans that brought in a beautiful breeze, rain or shine, creating a beautiful place to eat. There was a rooster who lived nearby who sang particularly well when the sun was shining. 😁
Hopefully, we will close on the purchase of our condo Monday. Brian and the realtor laid more of the groundwork for that yesterday after we got back to our place. I’m due to move out of the air bnb on the 30th or the 1st, and I’m HOPING I can move directly to the new condo. This is a wonderful situation for me here. I’m in the same building as our son, so I feel secure. We share meals, we go get a Grab to go to the hospital to see my husband each day, Brian brings food he has ordered from various wonderful places where is he able to order food that meets with my low carb diet. I will try to adjust VERY GRADUALLY to Thai food. The one-half inch of one sliver of a veggie I ate almost blew my head off it was so hot. I had to drink an entire glass of water to get my eyes to stop watering and my lips and tongue to quit burning. 🥵🔥 I’m a wuss.
We got a good report on my husband’s progress yesterday. He was able to feed himself better without choking. (He still has to be monitored for every bite or sip to make sure he remembers to swallow.) He was able to walk using a hand rail for a bit yesterday. They are not saying anything about his communication, so we’re hoping he can say a few more words in response to us or others, or able to recognize us today. Here’s hoping!

This is all such good news, Linda, except for that hot veggie! Wow!
We eat Pad Thai often. And now I think of you and Harvey.

I have yet to try Pad Thai yet, but I’m open to trying anything that doesn’t make smoke come out of my ears…🤣

Patty, you and I would both go nuts trying to paint all the colors and textures both in Laos and in Chiang Mai. I am falling in love with those, plus the truly wonderful people here.

Thank you, Raj. We just got to watch him be fed, and then feed himself and drink a bit of thickened water with a straw. Then two very experienced strong physical therapy guys put him through movements that were hard for him, but really needed. He really tried hard and was exhausted after. They will do another session in the afternoon.
